Christmas Day!

We had a beautiful, peaceful and relaxing Christmas Day! Just us, the kids and an 18lbs turkey. Eli enjoyed all his gifts and Sofia had a blast chewing on all the ribbons, paper and toys (only Eli's, of course). We praise and thank the Lord for our beautiful children! We love them dearly. I found an interesting recipe for a turkey in an old book I bought in a library (50 cents - I couldn't leave it there). We stuffed the bird with a mixture of apples, walnuts, eggs, sourdough bread, milk and herbs and wrapped the turkey in bacon. It was good! Very juicy! Mashed potatos, gravy, green salad, green beans and blue corn bread and butter, butter and more butter. Check out the pics.

    Oops, I spelled Sofia wrong in my last comment. Sorry :) Nice to see a glimpse of your new house in the background. You should take a few more photos to show us. Your Christmas meal sounds delicious. Tom was going to do a turkey but we didn't get it thawed it time. Miss you all!

You walk a dog every day. Twice a day. Three times a day. And you cannot wait to do it again the next day. Because you are THREE and you LOVE dogs.  And you hold your grandparents hand and it feels so much better than looking at them through cold computer screen.   And you are 12 and you get to ride a go cart out in the field. And give your little sister a ride, too. Because you are "da man" when daddy is not around.  And you are 9 and get to ride a four wheeler all by yourself and pass everyone on the track, older cousin included!  Because you are totally fearless and

Eli turned 9! It is hard to believe! We had a small family celebration with a very berry summer cake and some go cart races! He got a remote control car, a multi tool set and  a set of golf clubs. Tim needed a golf buddy so it worked out perfectly! Happy Birthday, Eli!
